Yahoo mail address auto-fill lists everyone ever included in every e-mail I've ever sent/received

At least that's what it seems like....

FF (29.0.1)

Re Yahoo mail: When entering a recipient for an e-mail the auto-fill drop down shows possible matches well in excess of my contacts. It includes anyone that I have ever sent/rec'd and all the addresses that were also cc'd in those e-mails.

From what I have read on Yahoo boards the suggestions are generated from the browser's stored data (ie. it's a browser problem not a Yahoo Mail problem). I have FF options set to delete all history (browse/download/cache/forms/search/cookies/logins/pwds/offlinedata) each time FF closes.

I am able to delete unwanted suggestions one at a time but as a practical approach that is beyond ridiculous.

Does FF keep a master list of part addresses? If so, how do I delete all except my current contacts?

THANKS!

Firefox doesn't store email addresses except as form data; data that you typed previously into Firefox.

See if clearing form history solves that problem: Clearing form history

Thanks but no joy.

The history is automatically wiped on closing FF but I checked it manually anyway and there was nothing there.

It's not crucial (just annoying!) so I guess I'll just ignore the deluge of names for now and hope it will be magically corrected in some future version of YMail.

Thanks for trying.
